What is recorded here

Linden's Well in Pulleen, County Kerry, vanished without a visible trace, resisting even the broadest survey lines. It remained a holy well in local memory, perhaps marked by a wooden ladder or simple stone rim now buried under grass. People may have knelt at its edge to drink or wash, believing the water carried grace, but the earth swallowed the proof.

Not marked on any edition of the OS maps but known locally as 'Linden's Well'. No trace of this well survives today and no other information exists on it except that it is said to be a holy well (Holly, 1981). No tradition of rounds or legends survives. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 885. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
